Texas is currently the fastest emerging state in regards to new food brands, food manufacturing, food science, diversity in foods and dishes, farming, and helpful networks for the food community. Because of laws, taxes, efforts and income levels, many places like California and New York are looking to shift their attention and efforts to Texas.
We have new brands, new restaurants and new festivals all dedicated to sharing their food with the rest of the country. We have grants, scholarships and investment groups pumping tons of money into the food scene. And to add some more icing to the cake, we have an ever-growing diverse culture that only helps bring new ideas to the table.
